Abstract (en)

A method and apparatus for concurrently catalytically reacting fluid streams and distilling the reaction product. A catalytic structure (14, 114, 214) is provided within a distillation column reactor (10, 110, 210) and comprises mass transfer devices (16, 116, 216) presenting hollow spaces and a fixed catalyst bed (17, 117, 217) formed from solid catalyst particles (18, 118, 218). The mass transfer devices (16, 116, 216) comprise interconnected gas and liquid permeable elements. The liquid phase preferentially flows along channels formed in the catalyst bed (17, 117, 217) before contacting the aforedescribed devices (16, 116, 216) for mass transfer with the vapor phase which primarily flows through the devices (16, 116, 216). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
